“I am disappointed with the allegations made against me. It is a sickening comment and I hope that the court will get to the bottom of the case,” Pomersbach told reporters here.

It directed him to cooperate with police in the investigation and not to tamper with evidence. The court dropped the charges under section 454 (lurking, house trespass) of Indian Penal Code against him.
